Somebody Else's Problem

Nothing’s holding you together
Nothing’s tearing you apart
You’re just drifting through this world
Waiting for the games to start
And the landmines and the love affairs
You got through without a scratch
You left the scene of the crime
Now you hope you’re just too fast to catch

And it’s somebody else’s problem
Somebody else is to blame
You’re just the stranger who’s staring from the mirror
And you’ve got somebody else’s name

You’re driving down an empty road
The wind is whistling in your ear
Sounds like some kind of melody
A song you haven’t heard in years
And as the sweat rolls down your neck
You pop the top on another can of beer
It’s good you don’t know where you are
Cause if you did you’d want to get straight out of here

And it’s somebody else’s problem
Somebody else is to blame
You’re just the stranger who’s staring from the mirror
And you’ve got somebody else’s name

At the truck stop you fill up the tank
And grab another six pack to go
You’ve thrown away your maps and compass
Cause you don’t really want to know
Maybe you’ll wind up in Alaska
Or on the beaches in Mexico
But as the sun slips down over the horizon
You’ll just follow the wind where it blows

And it’s somebody else’s problem
Somebody else is to blame
You’re just the stranger who’s staring from the mirror
And you’ve got somebody else’s name
